Agreed. It's hard for people to fix their briked motherboard. At least
it's hard for someone who is the first time meet this issue like me. :-(
and IMO, at least 51% of uefi firmwares on the world is buggy... ;)
However, if we simply make all buggy firmware become a brick, the
vendors will more careful in their next generation of products... But
it's painful for everyone, both customers and vendors.
